Well all he's guaranteed is $23 mil so that's little more than two years salary at his previous rate annual which was $9 mil and change. So in effect all were paying for now is about two years. He'll have to stay healthy and productive to collect the rest.

The Bears are getting much smarter as far as these deals they cut with their star players. No more Pep like contracts that end up becoming a nightmare for cap management. If they're gonna guarantee something they want that off the table as soon as practical.

Four years from now it's conceivable that both Cutler and Marshall could be gone without handicapping us so much cap wise that it would be tough to replace them. We also don't want their cap numbers to be so high we can't afford to keep them like what happened with Pep.

And you don't just shake any tree and have a Cutler/Marshall combo drop into your lap. It's not like we can easily find a pair like this "on the cheap" and Emery understands this. With Alshon Jeffery and M.Bennett in the mix - and Forte too for that matter - we're going to be a really really tough matchup for defenses this 2nd year of the Trestman system. The only thing we need now is to protect the football and limit the number of turnovers, and I think the run-blocking needs to improve this season. The yards that Forte is getting seems to often be in spite of the bad blocking. If we had a lessor RB we'd be screwed. Matt often makes something out of nothing, and of course he's a stellar receiver (perfect for the Trestman system).

First, I like Cutler, but you can get better than Cutler. Not easy, but it can be done. With Marshal, you truly have one of the best at his position.

But each one makes the other better. That's the magic of those two. I never would have believed it even after seeing it here in Denver but that was long ago and it only lasted on year. But they do have a connection between their brains that tells one what the other is thinking. The nice thing is Marshall has been willing to share that knowledge with the other receivers too.
